• Pavers can be used as a walkway, patio or border. Keep in mind the size of the project needed to generate the amount of revenue necessary. A formula is provided to help figure out what you will need. Consider the marketing strategies needed to achieve your goal and the reason for your fundraiser.

II. Create your order form:

• We have included a sample order form, or you may create your own. Projects are usually given names or slogans such as, “The Leave Your Mark™ High School Walk of Fame”, etc.
• Once you have your order form finished, please send us a copy to make sure we properly complete your orders.
• If you choose to have Leave Your Mark™ create your order form please send the information you would like to see on your forms (project objective, address which payments and orders are to be sent, a contact person and number where they can be reached etc.). You can also send us your organizations logo; if you do not have a digital image just include the best quality print of the images as possible.

III. Proceed with your marketing plan:

• Now it is time to start marketing your project. Place your display ads in local businesses, send out mailings, do news releases about your project etc. You may also request a personalized sample brick to display with your order forms. (See the Marketing Strategies we’ve included for ideas!)

V. Send your orders to us:

U.S. Mail: 4631 South Pacific Hwy. Phoenix, OR 97535

Email: orders@leaveyourmark.com (Just save the 3line, 2line & 1line orders in individual MS Word .doc files.)

VI. Insert your engraved bronze plaques:

• Before you install your plaques please double check to be sure each inscription is correct. We provide you with the industrial strength adhesive to glue your plaques, and send instructions with every order. Please feel free to contact us with questions at any time during your project!!

• On the order form, write the reason for the fundraiser and where the profits are being used.
• A catchy slogan is always a great advertisement. Use it on the order form and any other advertising that you are doing. Give your project a name such as “The Walk of Fame”.
• Display a photo of your project or a sample paver with the order forms in a local business. This can often be done in exchange for a free plaque for the business. (Your order form should have the name and address of the project organizer on each so orders can be mailed in.)
• Have a booth at a community event. Acquire booth space at a local fair, carnival or popular gathering event.
• Place a sample brick in your main office with order forms for visitors to see and purchase.
• Use newsletters and bulk mailings to promote your project by including an order form with the outgoing mail. Mail to businesses, service clubs, parents, alumni, booster club members, and other contributors. You may also talk to the city and possibly send out order forms with the monthly utility bills.
• Hold contests where the class or organization with the most pavers sold could win a prize, paver with their name, gift certificate etc.
• Honor achievements and contributions with your pavers. You could also use them to signify important dates in your organizations history. I. Advertise the Pavers as the ultimate unique gift. Celebrate any special event with a commemorative paver. Honor ones you love, and special occasions. J. Schools can have students find the oldest living alumni and organizations can find their oldest member. An article in a local newspaper could be placed to aid in your search. You could also have this person come to the dedication ceremony and cut the ribbon etc.
• Use a multi-tiered price system. Sell your sponsorships at different price ranges. You want it to be affordable for everyone to have a paver. Pavers at different price ranges can be placed in different areas of your project.
• Sell sponsorships to large corporations. For example, Safeway®, McDonalds®, etc. The price of the corporate sponsorship should be adjusted at a higher rate, as their plaque will serve as a permanent advertisement. We suggest you ask anywhere from $100 – $1000 depending on your organization. Remember this will be an inexpensive permanent form of advertisement for any business. “Where can a business advertise forever for $1000.00 or less?”
• Approach major business’ to donate shipping in exchange for a plaque in their name.
• Have a meeting and get others involved. Get a group together to brainstorm, usually every one comes up with at least one idea. Assign each person a task and have weekly meetings to discuss progress and problems. This allows you to see the progress of your project and keep track.
• Have a preview party. Invite everyone, especially those who bought plaques. Have everyone view their engraved bronze plaques before they are placed in the Pavers. It is a good idea to double check and often people are inspired to buy another plaque! Your sales could potentially double with this type of marketing.
• Schools can encourage families of children graduating from lower grades to purchase a plaque to welcome their student to their new school, and give them a sense of ownership. Use Alumni lists when available.
